Is everybody happy?

So, we have a new government not only in ideology but in style.  It looks like a truly modern way forward and hugely exciting for the country.  Nevertheless, even in this honeymoon stage there are still detractors who believe we've got a raw deal.  Which brings me to Julie Andrews.  What?  I hear you say.  What has Julie got to do with the government?  Well, you are indeed right.  She has nothing to do with the government but she is a perfect example of how you can't please all of the people all of the time.  There has been a lot of controversy over her recent concert at the O2 (see link above).  Many were disappointed that she didn't sing enough, feeling they had been short changed - especially since some had paid in excess of £100.  Well I have been told by several followers of this blog that in fact the show was wonderful, that they went along expecting she wouldn't sing (who didn't know about her failed throat op?) and got more than they bargained for. Besides, it was enough to be in the presence of a legend.  So there you have it.  It's all down to expectation.  If this new modernising government is going to get it right and become legendary, then they need to keep our expectations in check.  It may also be useful for them to remember that "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down".
